Bentley offers cloud services

Bentley Systems has announced the early access of BentleyÂ’s Design Insights cloud service, a new extension of BentleyÂ’s Scenario Services. Design Insights brings instant insight to the impact of design changes on the performance measures of organisations including project schedule, cost, and safety compliance.Designers and engineers make hundreds of decisions in relative isolation, without fully understanding the impact of these decisions on other disciplines or downstream activities that influence project performance. BentleyÂ’s Design Insights helps project teams make better-informed and timelier decisions that reduce cost overruns and unexpected project delays as insights into the project are gained much earlier. The new service enables relative estimation of structural safety, cost, and schedule changes between design iterations, heatmaps to identify areas of change between design iterations and practical consideration of multiple design alternatives in parallel.
